Cheap Easy to Make Survival Crackers (shelf-stable, protein-rich, and high-calorie food source)
Ingredients and Supplies
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 2 cups of Bulgur wheat flour
• 1 cup of water
• mixing bowl
• sharp knife
• mixing spoon
• cooking sheet
• straw or clean nail
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the salt and Bulgur flour together in the mixing bowl.
Pour in the water gradually, stirring as you pour. Knead the dough with your hands. The dough will be sticky initially, but as you keep kneading it, the stickiness will dissipate.
If the dough continues to have a sticky texture, slowly sprinkle just enough Bulgur flour to take the tacky feel out of the dough as you kneed it into shape once again. Roll out the dough on the countertop or wax paper after sprinkling the surface with a bit of bulgur flour to ensure that it does not stick to the surface. The dough must not be any thicker than ½ inch or it will not bake evenly and thoroughly all the way through. Use a sharp knife to cut the flattened dough into nine equal rectangles or squares.
Use a straw to make a grid of five circles in each rectangle or square (See pic below). Place the Survival Crackers onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake the Survival Crackers for 30 minutes. Remove the crackers from the oven and carefully flip them over and bake at 375 degrees for another 30 minutes. Remove the Survival Crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely. They should be slightly browned on each side.
Survival Crackers have been known to last for many years without the use of any special protective storage bags. For best results, I recommend storing the survival crackers in either a Mylar pouch or a Ziploc baggie.
